Task Scheduler

Task Scheduler is a freeware Task scheduling application that is integrated in Automation Workshop Free Edition and capable of launching a wide range of Actions according to simple or complex schedules.

Free Task Scheduler Trigger

A Task scheduling application can be characterized by two sets of basic parameters, namely, the types of schedules that can be setup by a Task scheduling application and operations that the Task can actually do when executed according to its schedule.

Both challenges are amply answered by Task Scheduler, a freeware Task scheduling application that is included in Automation Workshop Free Edition. Task Scheduler itself features options for creating both simple and complex schedules. However, it is exactly its integration in Automation Workshop which accounts for the wide variety of actual operations it is capable to invoke.
